  Needs a second watch to be totally understood and appreciated by this reviewer.

  Amélie 2001

  ★★★★★ Watched 24 Mar 2025

  Always a delight, if not the most life affirming film to ever grace the silver screen then certainly the most accessible.

  This one says “sci fi/drama” and it takes about an hour and 45 minutes before it tells you why it’s labelled that

  Better Man 2024

  ★★★★ Rewatched 18 Jan 2025 1

  As good on second viewing.

  Extra thoughts - I didn't like the greatest showman, but I might have to rewatch purely because the montage sequences in better man are so energetic and efficient, and so much characterisation is communicated with editing and visuals. It's some excellent art in an otherwise formulaic biopic.
